Excellent cocktail, thank you Simon! How would you describe the difference between your Daiquiri bitters (difficult to get in Germany) and Pechauds?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 10w

You can’t compare the two bitters. Very different flavour and even colour. Although very complex, the lead flavours of Daiquiri Bitters are roasted pineapple and mint.

Made to recipe but with 15ml aquafaba - exceptional mouthfeel and flavour- the daiquiri bitters are a winner. . Will add 3 drops of saline solution next time. 5 stars.

Fantastic even without the egg white. I used Carta Blanca 80° and subbed Smith & Cross navy strength for the gold rum and definitely the Diffords Daiquiri Bitters, thank you Bob and Simon! Can't wait to try this again with the missing ingredient.

Thanks Calvin. You should try Bob’s new Ginseng Bitters and Tonka Bitters.

Calvin Grant Premium Member 50w

Saw those on your new introductions page, most interested in trying them. So far neither Apriori, Cocktailier nor Milepost carries them in the states. Didn't see them on Amazon either. Will check periodically. Meanwhile your Margarita and Daiquiri bitters are readily available here. Nice to see. Wondering if the Tonka Bitters have coumarin of sufficient quantity to prohibit them from the U.S. market.

Jalapeno syrup does things.

Wonderful. I didn’t have the Daiquiri bitters but added 4 drops each of Abbotts and Lavender and still does the trick for me…

This is exceptional. Citrus forward but with a definite taste of the rums. Great mouth feel and creaminess. A perfectly blending of two of our favourite cocktails. Thanks Simon, another hit.
